Mario’s 65th birthday was celebrated at the Island Grill’s Bamboo Lounge in San Jose. A blast from the past, his birthday cake was ordered to show off the classic curves of his youth. The red 1950 Dodge Wayfarer has the bubble hood, chrome grill, and a personalized license plate that says “Mario 65″.

Happy Birthday Mario!

Diamond Castle Cake with Disney Princesses

ajsmoonlightbakery — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 19:25:10 +0000

Do you remember how excited you would get knowing that your birthday was coming? Rylie has been to a few parties with our cakes, so she knew she could get whatever cake she wanted for her birthday. Just a couple weeks ago for Halloween, this birthday gal was a princess. So it’s no surprise that she asked for a castle cake with all of the Disney princesses.

Draped over four tiers of devil’s food cake with chocolate cream cheese icing is the multi-colored fondant that Rylie requested. And the cake was amazing to see as the party room lights were dimmed at Pump It Up, Jr. Then everyone could really see the rainbow lights that dotted the castle. We’re so glad to make your princess dream come true for your special day.

Happy Birthday Rylie!

Sponge Bob Square Pants Birthday Cake

ajsmoonlightbakery — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 14:45:18 +0000

Sponge Bob would have quite the ego if he showed up at Jonathan and Anthony’s birthday party. Sponge Bob’s image was everywhere–the tablecloths, balloons, a gigantic bouncer, and even little Anthony’s crocs. Then we showed up with the Sponge Bob Square Pants cake that the family wouldn’t stop staring at, as if that was the only Sponge Bob that showed up to this party.

Thanks go the Gerrie and Amy for printing a picture of Sponge Bob for us when our computer went down for a day. Even their little girl, Rylie, helped by drawing a picture for us. Thanks Rylie!

Now we can stop saying “I’m a goofy goober, yeah!” Yes, we’ve seen many Sponge Bob cartoon episodes AND the movie.

********************************************************
Jonthan and Anthony’s mom sent a great letter the next day:

Hi Amy,

I just wanted to thank u again for taking the time to make jonathan’s and anthony’s cake. U did such a marvelous job! I was very impress. I really like the cake… it was yummo. Couple of people asked for some to go as well… which is rare. Jonathan was showing off his spongebob cake… he loved the way it came out.

Thanks again… u are a doll!!!

Knowing we’re making you happy, we’ll keep making many more cakes. Thanks Hahn!

Vote Roger Study for President

ajsmoonlightbakery — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 05:21:51 +0000

Today is a great day for many Americans to get involved in the political process to decide who will become our next President. Earlier today a proud mama celebrated a great day for her son that happens on this day every year.

We delivered this patriotic cake to Roger’s party at a great bowling alley in Cupertino called Strike Cupertino. If you haven’t seen what a cool hangout this party site could be, you’re missing out.

Roger’s mom asked for this Vote Roger Study for President Cake as a great tribute to her son on his birthday. Maybe this is the just the first time that we’ll hear his name in such great honor.

No on Prop 8 Cake

ajsmoonlightbakery — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 04:21:05 +0000

I’m so proud of all of my friends who are standing up for my rights and the rights of all of the other gays and lesbians in this state. They are showing a wonderful spirit in the fight for equal rights.

The history of marriage has included some dark times when interracial marriages were not allowed, and no one now can imagine such discrimination. We need to keep discrimination out of the California Constitution. It’s unfair and it’s wrong.

Vote No on Prop 8. Vote for equality for all.

Louis Vuitton Purse Cake

ajsmoonlightbakery — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 03:45:22 +0000

Mary’s 60th birthday was celebrated at the wine cellar of Wente Vineyard in Livermore. If you haven’t been there, you’re missing a beautiful setting for wine tasting and great music.

We learned that Mary and her daughter, Sheri, both love traveling and cake. Sheri chose the Louis Vuitton cake made of red velvet, and we knew that would be the perfect gift from daughter to mother. You can’t leave your favorite purse at home when looking for great cake!

The Louis Vuitton purse cake has a copy of In Style magazine with a wish, “Happy 60th Birthday Mary!” A message from her daughter on her iPod reads “60 Rocks”. Also on the pink and gold tiles are the Louis Vuitton coin purse and charms.

Happy Birthday Mary!

**********************************************************
Update–We received a note about the cake:

Hi Amy,

Sheri

Police Car Groom’s Cake

ajsmoonlightbakery — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 02:11:19 +0000

Groom’s cakes are becoming increasingly popular at weddings. Most people remember the red velvet armadillo groom’s cake for Julia Roberts’ wedding to Dylan McDermott in Steel Magnolias. Today’s groom’s cakes are still often playful gestures of love from the bride to the groom, though that can take any form.

Lisa married her policeman at the East Ridge Golf Club in Gilroy last weekend. She provided many pictures of her fiance (at the time) and his police car so that we knew all of the details of the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor to make his groom’s cake. We couldn’t resist adding the blue and red lights that really bring a police car to life. Now we’re wondering what other cakes could use a light.
